    Biggest goes first – always. That’s one of the unspoken rules of Kiln, the forbidden waste ground where Sam and his mates hang out. So when Sam comes up with a plan to go sledging on the rust-ridden bonnet of a rotting car, he goes first. To show the others how it’s done. 
    His mates aren’t so keen. But there’s no complaining. No backing down. Those are the other rules of Kiln. Even when they lead to disaster. 
    Will their friendship survive the wreckage that follows, or is it time for the rules to be changed? 
    For fans of Brian Conaghan (Swimming on the Moon), Susin Nielsen (All Cats Welcome), Sue Divin (Truth Be Told), Julian Sedgwick (Ghosts of Shanghai), and Jason Cockcroft (The Lost Treasure).
